1075: The Tech Connecting Videographers to Media Customers
Stringr is a marketplace that allows media organizations (such as TV news stations) to buy video from both amateur and professional videographers. The media organizations can preview all footage. If they like what they see, they can immediately download the video. Once they do, you (the videographer) will get paid the next business day! It seems that we are are all glued to 24-hour news channels at the moment, and we are all following the same narrative. As you all know, I like to focus on human stories and learn how people are leveraging technology to show a more positive glimpse into the future. Stringr was started by two friends – one a former news producer and the other a product manager and consultant who started his first company in high school. Lindsay Stewart spent over 10 years in TV news producing segments for ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox News, and Bloomberg, among others. That's when the idea for Stringr came to her. Lindsay Stewart joins me on today's episode to share her story and how the idea for Stringr came to her working in a busy newsroom. Here in 2020, I learn how Stringr is a hugely successful business thriving in a period of uncertainty by helping independent videographers and media outlets.
